Rationale: Disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are rare and occur primarily in immunocompromised hosts. Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC), including M abscessus subsp. massiliense (hereafter M massiliense) is a complex of rapidly growing mycobacterial (RGM) species of NTM.

Background: Good's syndrome (GS) is characterized by immunodeficiency, and can lead to severe infection, which is the most significant complication. Although Mycobacterium rarely causes infection in patients with GS, disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection frequently occurs in GS patients that are also positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or anti-interferon (IFN)-γ autoantibodies. Here, we report a rare case of GS with NTM without HIV or IFN-γ autoantibodies.
